Trump Just Shouted Down A Jewish Reporter Who Pressed Him On Anti-Semitism

During today’s outrageous press conference, President Donald Trump was again asked about the rising tide of anti-Semitism in the United States, this time by an Orthodox Jewish reporter for Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

A belligerent Trump proceeded to shout him down before lecturing him on how he is the least anti-Semitic person in the world.

“SIT DOWN. Number one, I am the least anti-Semitic person you’ve ever seen in your entire life. Number two, racism, the least racist person.

Quiet, quiet, quiet. See, he lied that he was going to get up and ask a straight, simple question, so, you know, welcome to the world of the media. I hate even the question because people that know me, and you heard the prime minister, you heard Netanyahu yesterday, did you hear him, Bibi, he said, ‘I’ve known Donald Trump for a long time.’ And then he said, ‘Forget it. So you should take that instead of having to get up and ask a very insulting question like that.”

For the second day in a row, Donald Trump has been asked about the rising tide of anti-Semitism in the United States, and for the second day in a row, he has refused to promise to do something about it, condemn it, or even acknowledge that it exists.

Trump’s rudeness is inexcusable, as is his refusal to condemn the anti-Semitism being perpetrated by his racist supporters and the hate groups that have been enjoying a perverse renaissance since his election. He is clearly pushing a white supremacist agenda that we cannot allow to to come to fruition.
